Yes people gained 500 elo from stacking BCs and people at the top who were doing this are suddenly not going to be able to play...

No, but getting literally 3-4 shot even with over 170 armor (which should be enough to survive the initial burst from a champ so you can fight back, but now why have armor at all if only tanks with armor boosting skills can benefit from it) by someone that has 3 BC (which instantly put full stacks on you from the first hit), sure does take skill.

At this current point, armor pen is better than any amount of armor you can BUY. (Heroes with natural armor buffs can still cope, and some have been brought into line but everyone else is screwed and there really is no point in buying armor when the armor pen and damage out scale you)

Currently, if you don't have a life steal spell on a short CD (warwick), have an armor boosting skill and naturally high hp (Most tanks) there really is no point in buying armor. So you get 200+ armor worth of items, thats enough to take 2 more hits. You are now down 2 items worth of damage, chances are you have low HP (because there are decent no hp armor items except randuins) and you do 0 damage. So you tank 2 more hits, pity you can't kill your opponent before his cd's come back up.

They had the right idea, stacking armor and health was an issue as most tank Champs have retardedly high base damage. But they just went a bit overboard with the numbers. It's like WOW, from BC to Wrath the numbers just went through the roof, nothing fun about that TBH. And it's bad for the game mode, nobody likes playing an insta-gib game mode, throws skill and strategy out the window if you don't have time to react.

Why take BC out of Dom? Fix the stacking problem by making the CDR and flat ArP unique passives, then remove Last Whisper from Dom because of the rework to the armor penetration formula causing the Dom aura + LW to remove stupid amounts of armor.

If you have to pull an armor pen item out of Dom, don't take out the interesting one.

tbh AD/bruisers/adcasters in dom are just fine in terms of balance without BC

brutalizer (or ghostblade if you want to upgrade it) is enough arpen for early-mid game and last whisper is enough for late game or against heavy tanks, and your other damage items is enough to still blow up AP's and anyone else

making resistances more expensive and less effective was already enough, they didn't need to introduce an insane item like BC on top of all that

We still adapt. You know what happened when BFT came to Dom? We adapted to using champs that could abuse it. Black Cleaver? Same thing. These items are unhealthy for the game because they ruin build diversity. They are so blatantly OP that they warp the game around them. THAT is the problem.

Also, some ******s like spamming threads instead of posting into similar topics.
